I must be outside the loop, because I never saw him say anything even half as bad as some of the stuff in the Cthulu thread or the NSFW stuff. He made several informative and/or insightful posts a day among all the tl;dr stuff. I sense most of his problems came in personal problems with specific individuals. There's also a lot of "good, he's gone." when most of his idiocy could be not clicked on, looked over, or ignored. I speculate that any Alex problem could have been resolved with a proper ignore feature. And why there's some kind of choice b/w Shaw and Libman puzzles me. Shaw didn't have to comment on anything Libman said or even see it (there is a rudimentary ignore feature, right?). Again, I might be speaking out my ass; maybe he said mean, hurtful things while I wasn't looking or in PM's. It just all seems silly to me.
